The New York Times: April 25 & May 2, 2003

Scott Teplin
'MORON'
Jessica Murray Projects
210 N. 6th Street, Brooklyn
Through May 11

Mr. Teplin's delightfully inventive drawing is like a conference call among Dr. Seuss, R. Crumb, Ed Ruscha and Rube Goldberg. Words like moron, flap jack and bonus hole are dug into the ground, constructed from industrial steel or whirling in space, while floating beds, gobs of mud, circulating tubes, spurting, gnarly nipples and disembodied mouths convey a spirit of gleeful surrender to the mind's own perversely polymorphous energies.
